Hi folks: Although there isn't perfect overlap between this list and the membership of the ISA Environmental Studies section (but if there are any of you out there interested in these topics who haven't joined ISA/ESS, why not?), I thought a message here was the quickest way to reach a relevant audience quickly.
We're still seeking authors for some of the Compendium topics for the ESS-run section of the Compendium (for those of you who don't know what that is, it's a gigantic encyclopedia of international studies; there's more information here: http://www.isanet.org/compendium/). The topics that still need authors are these: IR Theory and the Environment The United States and International Environmental Politics Developing Countries and the Environment Forests and Desertification If you are an ESS member (or willing to become one) and are interested in writing an essay of between 8-10,000 words on one of these topics, please send to me (ideally by 2/18) the following information: a) Indicate your name and current position (e.g. PhD Candidate at the University of Chicago, or Assistant Professor at Colby College). We encourage people of all academic ranks and affiliations to apply to write. You are also welcome to apply to write as a duo or trio; just indicate the relevant info for all people in your group in your message. b) in this message indicate the entry you would be interested in writing. c) include as well a list up up to 6 relevant publications -- do NOT send your entire c.v.; simply list 6 or fewer publications -- that suggest your general background for the issue you are interested in writing about. You may also include a *short* paragraph about your interest in and background relevant to that entry. I hope to hear from some of you; we'd like to find authors for these topics! Beth Elizabeth R. DeSombre Chair, ISA Environmental Studies Section
